 Replying to [comment:58 LewisCowles]:
 > Worse still to suggest SVG, unlike other files deserves excessive
 scrutiny (I'd suggest you take a look at MediaWiki & OWASP who both use
 and support SVG
 MediaWiki/OWASP (who uses MediaWiki) does not support SVG as a viewable
 filetype. As pointed out in comment:43, upon upload the SVGs are converted
 to pngs. No SVG is ever outputted on the frontend. You can read about
 their process (which basically uses a series of PHP libraries in case of
 fallback to get a copy of the SVG rendering and save it in the png on the
 fly and then serves the SVG) here:
